Filament-finned stinger
The filament-finned stinger is a well-camouflaged fish with venomous spines on its skin. It lives on sandy and silty seabeds in warm coastal waters, from the Red Sea and East Africa to the Maldives. It is easy to step on or touch by accident, so it is worth knowing what it looks like.1

Uko wayimenya
- Body colour is dull yellow, grey, brown or rust, with light blotches that match the seabed1
- Skin has no scales along most of the body, but is covered in venomous spines and wart-like glands, giving a knobby look1
- Flattened, concave head, with the eyes, mouth and nostrils projecting upwards and outwards1
- Caudal (tail) fin has dark bands at its base and near its tip1
- Two pectoral fin rays are detached and angled downwards, and are used like legs1
Ikunze kwitiranywa na: It is often confused with Inimicus sinensis, which is nearly identical. The key difference is on the underside of the pectoral fins: the black bands of this species are faint, while those of I. sinensis have yellow spots.1

When disturbed by a diver or a possible predator, it fans out its brightly coloured pectoral and tail fins as a warning, and it is very reluctant to leave its hiding place once dug in.1
Niba amahwa yayo akujombye
- Shyira igikomere mu mazi ashyushye, ashyushye uko umuntu abyihanganira atiriwe ashya (bigerageze ukoresheje ukuboko kwawe), mu gihe cy'iminota 30 kugeza kuri 90. Shaka ubufasha bwa muganga, cyane cyane ku bya stonefish na stingray.
Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze
Irinde akaga
- Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
- Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
- Niba amahwa yayo akujombye: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.
Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri
It walks slowly along the seabed, using the two lower pectoral fin rays on each side as legs.1
Its pectoral fins can be brightly coloured, which it shows as a warning when threatened.1
It has no known natural predators.1
During the day it covers itself with sand and debris, which hides it further.1
It is nocturnal, so it hunts mainly at night.1
